<p>Possibly ..... but might be related to Pilgrim Fathers' otters from <em><strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottery_St_Mary">here</a> </strong> </em> - an otterly charming place situated, of course, on the <strong><em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Otter">River O........</a> </em> </strong></p>

<p>I was on the boat with a few other photographers when Enrique Aguirre was one of two photographers to have the luck of capturing this freak moment. I missed getting this photo with a 600mm x 2xTC by a 1/4 second. It pays to be quick! The other photographer who captured this was Michael D. Kern. What is not seen in Enrique's photo is that the Sea Otter is still holding her pup. The camera blocks the pup from view in Enrique's image.<br>

Check out the following sites to see the photos with proper photographer credit given:<br>

<a href="http://www.thegardensofeden.org/Web%20Sub%204/OtterCam/index.html">Otter Cam by Michael D. Kern includes a series of 6 photos or so</a><br>

It's a shame the editors at Gizmodo don't know editorial basics of giving photographers credit.</p>
